1 {& i THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Thursday, October 8th, 1959 Notes and Comments Fire Prevention This is Fire Prevention Week in Canada. Many municipalities --are putting on a special drive sparked by leadership of local fire departments to educate the public with - regard to its responsibilities for fire pre- vention Talks in schools and at clubs, 'parades, television and radio skits feature such programs. While these are praiseworthy and cer- tainly have some value, the fact remains that the home is the chief source of safety education with respect to fire. The careless father who allows waste in the form of old paper and rags and boxes to accumulate around the house; the thoughtless mother who leaves electrical appliances turned on; ignorant parents who allow children to play with matches too readily accessible, or, who try to light quick fires with a little British Elections While British elections are not quite the circusses that we associate with elections in America, the present campaign in Bri- tain has not entirely lacked some of the ballyhoo and bitterness to be found in the typical American campaign. At first it was a rather tame affair, but soon it be- came apparent that. Labour was scoring "with its television programs and also with _ its promises of reduced taxes -- for some _ reason a promise that has considerable ap- peal for the average voter. The Conserva- tives, who realize only too well that a slight shift in voting strength could upset their apple-cart, got busy indeed. The cam- . baign entered a new and a most abusive phase. ; Well, the election falls on the eighth of the month and by the time this gets to press the results will be known or about to be known.The best choice for the British people to make is certainly not clear, Even the experts seem stumped--that is, the un- gasoline or coal oil, all contribute directly and indirectly to fatal fires, A little forethought with, regard to fire hazards is more valuable than a good fire department, The first saves all; the latter what it can. Millions of dollars worth of property and many lives are sacrificed each year simply because of wilful thonghtless- ness and ignorance. " A good parent has a real reponsibilty to his own family and others to practise and to teach fire prevention. It is not to be con- fined to one week in the year but should function by precept and example through- out the 365 days of the entire year. If we have respect for property and value human life we should be willing to render more than lip service to their preservation. prejudiced ones, the biased ones have no hesitation in prophesying blue ruin if the other party gets in. The Spectator has advised its readers to vote for the best candidate regardless of party; some, papers have advised their readers not to vote at all as a sort of pro- test gesture against the poor choice offered the public. Some even suggest that the Liberals, a dead party, should be elected but these papers fail to show.just how this might be done. One thing is clear. The British people irrespective of what party is in power seem to get along very well and manage in spite of party weaknesses to assemble a fairly decent parliament. Parliaments and parties may come and go but somehow the United Kingdom goes muddling on. This, to a great extent, is because of their very fine civil service and a Home Secretary who is above politica, i MAKE KENT STREET A SHOPPING CENTRE (7) has often been mentioned, Merchants : bave not been seriously concerned, nor People, the Women's Association and Indeed, there is quite & body of opinion holding that political socialism is immoral.

The committee are meeting this evening (Tuesday) at the Angli- can Rectory, with your Minister acting in an advisory capacity. Letters are going out from our new- ly formed Ministerial to all Sunday School workers in the area, inviting them to attend a "work shop" to be held in the Anglican Parish Hall next week, Saturday, October 17th, from 2 to 9 pm. We are expecting in the neighbourhood of one hundred, and we hope that it will be up to expectation. There will be a team of FOUR experts from the Ontario Council of Christian Education, Toronto, (interdenomina- tional) which will give leadership. Whether you receive a letter or not, we would like you to feel that all who are interested in young people and the church are welcome, irrespective of whatever church in the Area you may attend. Bring a Bible, note book, pen- cil, box lunch, and a smile. Thank you 50 much, Our three Churches joined with all Christians on Sunday last in partak- ing of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
